Aberdeen International Airport is preparing to celebrate its 90th anniversary by inviting passengers and former employees to share their memories of the airport.
The airport in north-east Scotland was officially opened by Lord Arbuthnott in July 1934 and founded by Eric Gander Dower, dubbed “the father of Aberdeen Airport” in press cuttings.
There will be several celebrations throughout the year to mark the airport's “Granite Anniversary”, which coincidentally also nods to Aberdeen's nickname as the Granite City.
A special number 90 logo has also been commissioned for use throughout the year, and stories shared by the public will be used for a project later in the year.
Mark Beveridge, chief operating officer at Aberdeen International Airport, said:
“We know that both the city and the airport have changed a lot in the last 90 years. As current custodians of the airport, it seems only right that we seek to reflect and celebrate the impact the airport has had.
“It is also very fitting that the Granite City Airport celebrates its Granite anniversary. We want as many former colleagues as possible to get in touch and for passengers to share their stories over the years. “This will help us plan some celebratory events for later in the year.”
Those who want to share their stories about the airport can send an email. [email protected].
